Technical Definition:
Oxygen (O2) Sensor Signal Biased / Stuck Rich (Bank 2 – Sensor 1)
Trouble Code: P2198
Address: 0x2198
System: Powertrain
Subsystem: Fuel and Air Metering
Address: 0x2198
System: Powertrain
Subsystem: Fuel and Air Metering
Technical Description:
This code is a generic powertrain code. It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer), although specific repair steps may be slightly different depending on the model.
Possible Causes:
- Oxygen (O2) or A/F ratio sensor or sensor heater malfunction
- Open or short in O2 sensor circuit (wiring, harness)
- Fuel pressure or fuel injector problem
- Faulty PCM
- Intake air or engine vacuum leaks
- Faulty fuel injector(s)
- Fuel pressure too high or too low
- PCV system leak/fault
- A/F sensor relay faulty
- MAF sensor malfunction
- ECT sensor malfunction
- Air intake restriction
- Fuel pressure too high
- Fuel pressure sensor malfunction
- Fuel pressure regulator malfunction
- Note on some vehicles that have been modified this code may be caused by the modifications (e.g. aftermarket exhaust, headers, etc.).
